I used to see you everywhere...In my mind, in my thoughts…
“I used to see you everywhere...In my mind, in my thoughts, in others words, in my heart, but I feel you're slipping from my grip. You're entire outline of your face I could once paint so clearly in my head, I can't make out anymore then mere smudges now. And once so vivid and recurring in my dreams, you're presence is there no longer...and that scares me, that truly scares me. For I fear distance may take the image of the one person I have always loved.”
